Exploring Eastern PEI: The Points East Coastal Drive
Lighthouses, fishing villages, and quiet beaches make the eastern shore one of PEI's most rewarding road trips.
The Points East Coastal Drive traces the Island's eastern edge through working harbours, historic lighthouses, and some of the quietest beaches you'll find anywhere. This itinerary covers the must-see stops from Montague to Souris and out to East Point, with suggestions for where to eat, paddle, and watch the sunrise.
